Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Well I'm shocked at the good reviews. The best dish I had when we went recently was the chewy squid with the slushy batter - a very simple dish to get right. Enough said on the food. With respect to the staff Himmler and Geobels would have been more welcoming - I have never come across such frosty rudeness in a restaurant.

i work at ricos restaurant and it is a very nice place to work ant eat Italian food the people who make the food are very hard working especially rico and jimmy. so if you fancy an italian come down to ricos restaurant

My friends brought me to this delightful restaurant for dinner. We had a veritable feast: mango lassi (absolutely yummy); aubergine fritters; pani puri; utthapam (I loved this!); idli sambar; zucchini and peas and kichdi. Afterwards we went to the shop section and bought cashew barfi to take home. It was a most enjoyable evening and I shall certainly come again. Highly recommended.

This is the second time I've been here and both times it was poor value for money given the paltry quantities of the main course. I had such a bad experience on the first visit I actually asked the staff to confirm that my choice would be an ample portion yet still I got anything but. My neighbour in our group ordered a meat and potato pie and between us we could barely spot a single piece of meat amongst the ubiquitous potato. Definitely a place to avoid: go to The Strines instead -- much larger portions of both the dish and accompanying vegetables. My experience is that pub restaurants generally are going downhill, with most experiences disappointing.

Ever since its opened i've been going to Voda Bar & Kitchen every week, the food is great but inexpensive, drinks are cheap and they've even started doing my favorite beer Lindeboom! (only in bottles though). i have decided to book my 28th Birthday there early next year as they have a fantastic private bar downstairs. If you want good food at a good price i would certainly recommend this place to anyone!!

A great weekend food,beer, lager, real ales,spirits, great binge drinking and excellent food. Got thrown out at 6am tho.

My partner and I eat here regularly and we haven't had a bad meal yet! The staff are great - really friendly and helpful. The idea of providing a list of tapas from which you can choose as a starter is brilliant - it suits any size appetite!

Been recently after great meals in the past, and am afraid was v dissatisfied: lunch of fish (tiny tail ends), a dessert spoon -sized portion of spinach and 'new potatoes' - which were obviously reheated, fried and served up. Please do not cut corners, serve these unsatisfying smaller portions, or advertise wrongly in the menu. What has happened to the delicious 'flavoured' butter at the start of the meal? Standards seem to be slipping and it is tempting to pass the word around!

I was a regular customer of the restaurant as the food was lovely and the prices were not too dear. Until one Wednesday I went there for a meal with my wife. I had the famous Tiger Tears and my wife had the Thai green curry and the food was lovely as usual just that the curry wasn't as nice as we used to have but it was acceptable. The only big problem I found about this restaurant was that lately, the service has been really poor. One night, there was one waitress and a bar staff, which I thought was enough for such a steady night like that. But we waited so long for the waitress to come and get our orders, plus we had to wait so long for the waitress to clear the table for us so we could have our main courses and that really did put us off the food. We we quite angry at the time as we were in a rush and as the restaurant wasn't that busy at all but it seemed that we didn't see much of the waitress in the restaurant area. I wondered where she was and what exactly was she paid to do????? We started looking for a new place to eat out after that and are still trying to find our new favourite place. If Tum Nuk Thai doesn't improve its quality of service, it will lose many more customers just like they lost us!!!!

Visited recently on a weekday lunchtime, we had just missed the rush and were almost the only ones in there so would be unfair to comment on atmosphere. However the waitress was polite, friendly and attentive (not that there was much else to do) We chose six dishes off the main menu, including monkfish, tigerprawns and chicken & chorizio skewers. All the dishes were excellent, the food was well cooked and tasted very fresh. All in all the meal came to £50 which included two lagers and two large glasses of wine. would recommend this restaurant to anyone and it easily beats its local tapas competition!

Being a Vegan in Yorkshire is quite a hard job, but living close to Prashad's has been a dream. The road-side snacks are great if you're feeling a bit peckish - just swing by and in two minutes you've got your food and your on your way. I've been in for a few meals in the restaurant and really enjoyed the food. Especially the Rhengan & Pea curry.

I had seen this new restaurant whenever we drove past. Then at last I had an opportunity to come here with my vegan friends and although I am not vegetarian I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I shall certainly come again and can recommend this to anyone visiting Ilkley.

I now live in Ilkley and visited G&B in early October with my two children, (6 & 8). I chose a special from the blackboard which was a seasonal vegetable stew with sage dumplings, it was delicious. Tom and Catherine shared an egg mayo sandwich which came with a small salad (the bread was really very good, apparently it is from the locally famed Bondgate Bakery) and they both said it was "scrummy!". They also offer a selection of traditional cakes which like everything else is homemade - we had Victoria Sponge and Banana & Walnut Loaf which were wonderfully light and moist. To sum up, I would say it's a welcome addition to Ilkley, family friendly with simple tasty food based on good principles, vegetarian and organic - we will go again.

Atrocious,food, service and hospitality. I visited the Nags Head Lazenby in August with my sister and we both "promised" never to again We both ordered parmos "a teesside delicacy"and were hugely disappointed(being from Middlesbrough all our lives, we know the difference between good and bad). The chips were "cremated" and the chicken base of the "parmo" thin to say the least.We both also commented on how abrupt the "cook" was when taking our order and when bringing the food,( like she couldn't be bothered ,even though the pub was empty) We both live only a short taxi ride or walk (Eston under nab)from the Nags head,but there are lots of far better eating houses in the area,they really do need to raise there game to compete or forget about serving food altogether.

I cannot rate "Rice" high enough! Their service is always pleasant and helpful, with a huge range of authentic dishes to try out. The last time I was there a free "shot" was offered by the manager (at the meal's end). I had the brandy and was not disappointed! The only downside is that the restaurant is always busy nowadays - a victim of it's own success I guess.

DISGUSTING---- We went last night and the food was vile, not even fit for my dog. Seemed like it was cooked last week. The drinks were over priced as well.

Used this place regularly over the last few months because they had a 'loyalty' card scheme where after you collected five signatures you get a free curry. Called on Saturday night about 10pm with my friend who'd collected approx 10 signatures on 4 separate cards (he'd forgot to bring the original card sometimes when he called in on speck). Manager wouldn't honour the loyalty cards saying that all the signatures had to be on one card. We pointed out that it doesn't say this on the cards...just says you need a total of 5 signatures to qualify. Manager and staff were very intimidating. We left after paying for our starters (which were overcooked) Will never return to this establishment again and would advise others to do the same...run by lying, scamming, cheats.

tonight we visited the new akbars cafe on Leeds road in bradford, the place looks wonderful, unfortunately we were greeted at the door immediately to be told they didn't do the sort of curries we would like and the doorman did his best to dissuade us against eating there. the cafe was filled with Asian people and we were made to feel very unwelcome, we were told to eat at the restaurant where we would be served with the sort of curries we like. what happened to choice and liberation however, we will be visiting neither restaurant or cafe again
